If you want to see Dubai from a different perspective, something close to rural and calm living, the Al Khawaneej area is the best choice.

This area includes green spaces, gardens, local markets, traditional coffee shops with rustic decor, and the beautiful complex “The Yard.” The Yard is a large area with an artificial lake, Love Bridge, artistic walls, and restaurants with a serene atmosphere.

Families usually come to this area for picnics or quiet evenings.

💡 Saving Tips

• Prices at the lakeside cafes are a bit higher—shops at the back are cheaper.

• Winter, from dusk to night, is the best time for a walk.
